Which option lists EASEMENTS as a property interest?

• A. Deeds (Prop)
• B. Easements (Prop)
• C. Notice Act (Prop)
• D. Race Act (Prop)

Answer: (B)

Property interests include rights that affect land, not just ownership. An easement is a non-possessory right to use someone else’s land for a specific purpose, like a right of way or utility access. Because it creates a legally recognized stake in the land itself, it counts as a property interest and can persist across changes in ownership. Deeds are instruments used to transfer title or interests, but the deed itself isn’t an interest in land—it's a document that conveys an interest. The Notice Act and Race Act are about recording priorities among claims on land, not about defining a property interest. So the option that lists Easements as a property interest is the correct one.
